Tips to ease your move

Purge your items. Sort through your stuff to get rid of those you don’t use or require anymore. You can either donate, hold a yard sale or give away to neighbors creating room for other important items consequently reducing the cost of moving.

Labeling and color coding. Choose different colors to represent the rooms. Mark the boxes with the corresponding colors while indicating the contents of each box. Make sure the labels are clear to make it easier when unpacking.

Pack weeks in advance. Give yourself enough time to organize all your items including cleaning them before packing. Avoid a last minute rush that can lead to confusion and a mix-up of items.

Hire a moving company that covers the area you’re moving to. A local mover is familiar with the routes, weather conditions and laws of the state.

Pack an essential items kit. Since you’ll be too tired to unpack, you need to have quick access to items that you must use on a daily basis. These include toiletries, toothbrush, bedsheets and phone chargers among others.

Why you need to hire a professional moving company

Insurance. Hiring a professional moving company ensures protection of your household items since they provide adequate insurance cover. To confirm their insurance status, check with the Licensing and Insurance Public.

Affordability. When you compare the amount of money you’ll spend moving on your own and hiring a moving company; you realize that it’s actually cheaper to hire professionals. They know all the challenges that come with moving and base their charges on facts such as the distance of your move and the weight of your household items. You can be sure that there’ll no surprises since professional movers don’t have hidden charges.

Storage services. Sometimes a move may be sudden necessitating the need to find a place to store them. A professional moving company has secure storage facilities to keep your items safe until you are ready to collect them. The facilities are climate controlled to ensure your belongings are stored in safe conditions.

Peace of mind. A professional moving company takes over your moving process from packing, loading to unloading your household items at your new house. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that you’ll not be lifting any heavy items.

How to find a reliable mover

Go for a moving company that’s been accredited by the Better Business Bureau. This signifies that the company has met the high standards of the bureau and can be trusted to provide high-quality services.

Ask for recommendations from trusted people who have recently moved. This will save you time and energy you would have spent vetting multiple movers.

Check the validity of the USDOT Number for interstate movers. Ask the moving company to also provide you with documents of registration and licensing from the FMCSA.

A reputable moving company has specially built trucks for relocating household items. Your items are protected from shifting while in transit thus preventing any breakages. The moving experts will suggest the right truck size depending on the size of your items.

The internet is a great source of finding moving companies. Most of the movers have websites where they advertise their services. To find a reliable moving company, check if they have provided their contact information and that they have a physical office. Also, check out their equipment and experience their customer service first hand.
